President Donald Trump on Thursday
called the attack on out actor Jussie Smollett “horrible.”

Smollett, who is black and came out gay
in 2015, was attacked early Tuesday morning by two men wearing masks
in downtown Chicago. The men hurled racial and homophobic slurs and
told Smollett that he was in “MAGA country.”
